On March 26, American economist Jeffrey Sachs said in an interview that China has achieved remarkable economic success and is on the path of improving the well - being of its people and promoting world development. He described this as "the most important change in the world economy over the past century".
Sachs mentioned that since his first visit to China in 1981, he has visited the country multiple times almost every year. He has witnessed China's development and is deeply impressed by the achievements China has made and is still making. In his view, China's success is due to the hard - working people, the emphasis on education, the sound economic planning of the government, and the innovative spirit of Chinese enterprises.
Sachs was also highly impressed by China's efforts and achievements in poverty alleviation. He pointed out that China's success in poverty reduction is based on good education, infrastructure, and medical services. China's efforts and relevant policies have provided a "roadmap" for other countries in the world to achieve their goals.
He stated that China has not only got rid of poverty but also embarked on a sustainable development path. In the past decade, China has made significant achievements in energy transformation and has made important contributions in the fields of green and digital economy.
When answering questions about high - quality co - construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, Sachs said that the initiative aims at achieving win - win and multi - win results and promoting global sustainable development. In this process, China's strong innovation ability can provide advanced technologies for other regions and contribute to their infrastructure construction.
